水浒传是一部长篇英雄传奇，是以宋江起义故事为线索创作出来的。宋江起义发生在北宋徽宗时期，《宋史》的《徽宗本纪》、《侯蒙传》、《张叔夜传》等都有记载。从南宋起，宋江起义的故事就在民间流传，《醉翁谈录》记载了一些独立的有关水浒英雄的传说，《大宋宣和遗事》把许多水浒故事联缀起来，和长篇小说已经很接近。元代出现了不少水浒戏，一批梁山英雄作为舞台形象出现。《水浒传》（上下）是宋江起义故事在民间长期流传基础上产生出来的，吸收了民间文学的营养。《水浒传》（上下）是我国人民*喜爱的古典长篇白话小说之一。它产生于明代，是在宋、元以来有关水浒的故事、话本、戏曲的基础上，由作者加工整理、创作而成的。全书以宋江领导的农民起义为主要题材，艺术地再现了中国古代人民反抗压迫、英勇斗争的悲壮画卷。作品充分
The statement that China is passing through an unprecedent-edrevolution has almost become a platitude， but its very obviousnessin no way diminishes its truth. The changes which this huge andvenerable country experienced in the past are negligible whencompared with the developments of the last decade. The reason forthis difference in degree-which amounts to a qualitative change-isthat developments in the past hardly influenced fundamentals, ifthey ever did so at all, whereas the present transformation deeplyaffects them. It is even consciously aimed at changing the socialstructure and all that this entails.
《聊斋志异》成书于17-18世纪的中国清代，作者蒲松龄。该书在广泛搜集民间传说的基础上创作而成，在中国小说史上是一部横空出世的惊世奇术。它的近五百篇作品，构建了一个人鬼狐妖曲折离奇的艺术世界，用细腻洗练的文笔，塑造了一大批家喻户晓、鲜明生动的“聊斋人物”，成为中国文学人物画廊中的一个奇观。全书浪漫恣肆、充满想象，或把狐鬼花妖现实化，或将现实生活神异化；或美颂人间真情，或讽喻世态丑恶，亦真亦幻，出神人化，意象神奇，令人惊叹。《聊斋志异》以其独特而杰出的艺术成就，成为中国文言小说的*之作。 《聊斋志异》19世纪中叶即传播到国外，先后被译成十几种文字。本书中文版本选自张友鹤辑校本。英译主要选自黄友义译本。

The complexion of the empresses attending to state affairs was fairly complicated. Some had to represent their sons because the emperor was really too young to rule a dynasty; some, due to their ambition for monopolizing power, deliberately supported and enthroned a young emperor who could be easily controlled by them after their husbands died, thus to gain the real power of the court. Some empresses even disenthroned the crown prince designated by their husbands after his death or had the new emperor killed to gain control of the state for themselves. Some regent empresses certainly played an important role in stabilizing the dynasty; but others, however, brought a lot of troubles and crises to the dynasty due to their high ambition and low quality.

“评话”，原是讲说故事的一种民间表演技艺，在宋代的城市里极为盛行。后来，这类口头表演的内容被记录整理成书面文字，称为“话本”或者“白话小说”。元代时开始专指演叙历史题材的白话小说为评话，到了明清两代，评话便成了涵盖各种题材的白话小说的通称。“评话”以城市中的普通大众作为主要的读者对象，语言通俗易懂，内容也多是反映市井小人物的荣枯沉浮和悲欢离合，表现的是与传统士大夫诗文迥然不同的市俗精神风貌，有着极高的文学、艺术价值。 《喻世明言》、《警世通言》、《醒世恒言》、《拍案惊奇》和《二刻拍案惊奇》（合称“三言二拍”）是五部为著名的宋明短篇白话小说集，其中很多作品在成书后不久即被翻译成多种外文，流传到世界各地。本书的20篇作品均选自于上述五部小说集，英文部分由著名的翻译家杨宪益、戴乃迭
